In the midst of the consternation and surpriss which this event ovoxsioned, Dulce, knowing the consequences of so painful a position, approached the lieutenant colonel, and said, with a frarkuess obaracler- istic of his Kicjan origi, “Colonel, discugsions in chese cases are useless, because moments are precious, they pass away and never returo: our duty is to march in purruit of the disaffected, retwre obedience, or perish”?

One of the questions propounded retired consideration, and he requested time before answering it. Although of great importance, te doubted whether it pertained properly we the case under consideration, A series of ques stions wore prepared to be propounded to him, which, if answered, would have elicited the whole peninsula campaign. Some of them were endorsed by the Court to be put, but others were re- ‘ected as irrelevant.
